A YOUNG CYCLONE

side show, where the bewildering rope
walker strides manfully across twenty feet
ofstretchcd hemp two feet from the can
vas-when the interlocutor Of huge
snakes and fat women rises,up on Pc
destai and speaks in glowing terms of his,
the great and only side show on earth
when the dizzy, airy, light and fairy,
equestrienne, whirls around the ring of
sawdust in blue tights and spanges to
quick music-when, after the crowd
comes from under the tent they say they
knew the show would be no good-they
just went to let the dear children sec
something.
The more Dakota blossoms into promi-
nence, and the more dense the popula-
ton, thicker and faster comes the festive
tramp and ha1idorgan to drive away dull
care We are fast assuming eastern met
ropoltan airs, and by the time we are
blown up by dynamite and have two or
three street car strikes will be perfect.
TIDE DANCE.
Prof. Almon's dancing class gave So
sial party at Bedford Hall Tuesday eve
ding, to which u goodly nu mber gathere d
and enjoyed themselves. The class was
organized last winter, and has
made rapid strides towards perfection in
the graceful art of dancing. The Pro-
fessor is a gentleman, painstaking in his
endeavor to please everybody, and the
manner in which he conducted this sea-
ries of dances went to show he is skillc d
in the profession.
OPEN AIR CONCERT
Bozzara's Indian Medicine company
is giving free entertainments on an cle-
vated stage on Fourth street, jus: east of
Broadway. From the fact that large
crowds congregate there every night the
people must be interested in the perform
ance. The program consists of expert
movements of a child roller skater, mar
velous teats of contortionist, rapid
crayon sketches, orchestra select ions,
songs and dances, mandolin solos and
last but not least the extracting OF teeth
by lightning artist. This last feature
is the drawing card, and creates consid-
cradle excitement. The Doctor sells an
Indian medicine, which is no doubt valu-
able, Judging by the numerous sales made.
The Bozzaro company has several fine
artists, who. are giving really meritorious
entertainment. DR.. Bozarro, head medi
cine man, is good talker and seemingly
a thorough gentleman. Percy Hudson,
the lightning tooth extractor, is justly
called the worlds champion, and is really
a lightning manipulation. Ed A. Hall, as
rapid crayon artist, is great and no mis-
take. He combines dizzy crayon work
with an occasional mandolin solo, and can
do it all with easy grace. The contortion-
ist is also marvel Of boneless humanity.
Harry A. Neusel, as motto and topical
vocalist, and Percy Damon, the child roll
Ter skater. rifle shot and general utility
specialist, coupled with fine orchestra
all together make up frstclass free open
air show.

.EsMERELDA.
Our neighbor on the west, Parker, will
send down home dramatic company to
this city next Tuesday evening, at Bed
ford Hall, in Esmerelda. The company
gives an entirely new version OF this old
but popular play, there being consider
able of change from the Esmerelda of
today and that of few years ago. The
company is composed Of the elite of Par.
ker's society, who arranged the drama
for an Episcopal church benefit at that
place, and the entertainment here will be
for the benefit Of the Canton Episcopal
society. Reserved seats will be found on
sale at the Corner Drug Store, the gener-
al price of admission being thirty-6v
cents. Relative to the ability of their
home company the Parker Press says:
Esmerelda, the beautiful drama given
at Opera hall last Tuesday evening, by
our home talent, was complete success,
the parts being well rendered and showed
that no pains or labor had been spared in
preparing the play. The hall was packed
by an apprec:ative audience, who were en-
raptured with the play. It was decided
edly better than many Of the travelling
troupes that make business of playing.
